So I went to the mall with the intentions of Christmas Shopping. Thanks to my short attention span and my lack of resistance for a good deal, I splurged more than I should have on myself. :( This is probably the second or third time I do a post about the items I purchase while being side-tracked at a mall so I’m going to call these posts the “Mall Diaries” (you like?).

Since I was feeling kind of bad about the splurge, I took on the mission of cleaning out my closet and decided to donate some of the items I haven’t worn in a while. At least I can now tell Santa I was a good girl once this year. :)

Here’s what I splurged on and of course the prices. The first thing I got was this heart print dress. It’s very girly and flowy and looks soooooo cute with a bow belt. I hope to make an outfit of the day post when I wear it. I purchased it at a store called Valija Gitana for $25 (not sure if this store is only available in PR).

I then went to Claire’s and they had a mega sale so I purchased this Hello Kitty iPhone 4 case for $2 (can you believe it?!) and these polka dot tights for $1.

All of the jewelry below I purchased at a store called Exentrix (I’m not sure if this is store is only available in PR). I got this Long Peacock Necklace to match my peacock ring. $6.99

Now to the good part! The shoes!! (trumpets playing in the background) These I purchased at a store called La Defensa (again not sure if this is a PR only store but the exact same brands and styles can be purchased at Traffic shoe stores). These suede/velvet type material boots were $25. Completely unnecessary for the tropical 85° weather but I had to have them. I plan on wearing them to my upcoming trip to Florida to visit my Dad and the family.

I posted these oxford wedge shoes on my facebook page asking if I should purchase them because I thought $40 a pair is a bit pricey. I fell madly in love with them the first time I saw them but they weren’t available in my size (I checked 4 different stores). Then Pacsun restocked and were running out fast so I had to act quickly, when I finally made up my mind to go get them, they were on sale! (buy one get one half off) So what does a girl do? Duh! Buy one in each color. ;)

The best deal I probably got were these jeans. Each $10 at Rainbow Stores. They fit perfectly, one of them competing with my Levi’s Curve ID jeans which cost me $40 (not shown). And of course, they have Bacon’s seal of approval.

And I finally purchased colored jeans! My boyfriend says the purple ones look like joker jeans. Any how I really like them and can’t wait to find ways to wear them. I know they aren’t as bright as this season’s colored jeans but since this is the first time I incorporate colored bottoms into my wardrobe I thought I’d take baby steps. They were $25 at Rainbow stores and were on sale for buy one and get one 50% off.

The final piece of clothing is this sheer, lace, floral print shirt. It is really pretty. It has lace going down mid back. I hope to take an outfit photo of it soon. I purchased it at Rainbow stores as well for $16.80.

And last but not least, my very tacky leopard luggage! One thing’s for sure, the chances of not recognizing my luggage on the conveyor belt is reduced by 99%. I purchased it at Me Salve for $39.99 (again, so sorry if this store is only available in PR) and it is quite big and spacious. Like I said above, I’m going to visit my Dad and the family in Florida in the next weeks for the holidays. I hope to take lots of pictures. I am terrified of flying, no matter how many times I fly, I hate it even more. And the nightmare I had last night about being in a crashing plane with the cast of Jersey Shore didn’t add to my courage. I’m sure many of you wish the cast of Jersey Shore would be riding on a crashing plane but please don’t let me be on it. :(

Thanks Joyce! Yes the pacsun shoes are surprisingly comfortable. So sorry they ran out in your size. The same happened to me and then fortunately they restocked. Hopefully they will restock in your area soon or if you really want them you can probably still order them online. Good luck ;)
